Default Value

Any complete 700, ie action and bolt can generally bring 3-350.00. That ADL with it's original buttplate, in 222Rem, in that condition will probably go north of 500.00 real quick in a auction on GB. To me that rifle is a prime "keeper", not to be confused with the many donor 700's that pass through our hands, and only a few will know and appreciate what it is. You'll know who those people are, their eyes will glaze over, they'll try not to overtly glare at it and will finish off with making some lame comment like, "let me know if you ever want to dump it". I would consider 500.00 to be at the bottom of retail value and if I made that offer I would cross my fingers and hope someone else didn't find it. Still no one, including me likes to pay retail. As for the stock I would strip it put a nice oil finish on it and shoot it. On a "keeper" I don't consider the collectability, I like to pick it up and like what I see, must be a Texas thing. If you get it, pics please.
